I put 2 of these tires on the rear of my 88 T-Bird a year and almost 12,000 miles ago both are at 10/32nds and still going great. I'm writing this because I am about to order 2 more. If that tells anyone if I liked the tires or not.

...and not even 2 years! My driving habits were mostly highway, 55-65 MPH, rarely in snow or ice, typical stuff. I have an old Rav4 so it's not like I was driving 90MPH, taking corners at high speeds, or peeling out from stoplights. Nor was my car over-heavy. I had the tires rotated on schedule but that didn't seem to matter...they're almost bald with only 35K miles on them. VERY disappointed.

First, I'd like to say that these tires have exceeded my expectations! Honestly, I was just looking for an inexpensive all season tire that "looked" like it could perform "well enough" in ice and snowy conditions# I was skeptical given that these tires didn't have any reviews on them 6 years ago when they probably first came out#
I don't drive anything with less than 2/32 remaining so at least we know it lives up to its warranty# The survey ratings given by customers for this tire on tirerack#com are very accurate considering it currently has over 18,000,000 miles reported by a whole magnitude of customers# Go there, compare it to other tires, and make an informed decision that best suits your budget#
I live in MN so I need an all season tire that handles well in snow and ice without burning a hole in my pocket# This tire fits the bill#
The 1 star review on here is unfair# If you rotate your tires every 6,000 miles, check your tire pressure AT LEAST once a week, and drive on good shocks/struts, then there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get 85,000 out of these# So if you want less biased tire reviews, check tirerack#com as there are many more tire reviews there than anywhere else I'm currently aware of# As of today, Walmart has one of the best prices I've seen for these tires#

These are horrible. I only got 35,000 miles out of these tires that are supposed to be 85,000 mile tires. Now I have to once again deal with pro-rating expenses that really add up: my portion of the cost of the tires after prorating, mounting, balancing, disposal fees, etc. Even though a warranty is stated, if you have to use the warranty, the extra costs really add up fast! Why not just produce a tire that lasts as long as it claims to last?

Did you follow the inflation printed on sidewall?
Posted 04/06/2013
Kumho's website say's these tires are suppose to be inflated at 44 psi. If you ran them as passenger tires at 34 psi or followed your vehicle's owners manual, which recommends 20 psi to minimize roll over, you increase the tire's rolling resistance and experience uneven wear. When you run under inflated tires, the outer thread towards the edge will wear out faster, the tires run hotter, and you burn more fuel with increased rolling resistance. If you're not comfortable with the recommended pressure on the sidewall, you should inflate them at no more than 5 psi below the recommended pressure written on the sidewall.
